Included with Leopard, the latest version of Mac OS X, are several new screen savers, one of which is a new effect for the standard “display your photos” screen saver. - Meow 6
Posted November 7 2007
Well, it’s been a little over three weeks since my last proper update so I’ve forced myself at fingers-looking-like-a-gun point to write another. - A mild annoyance 7
Posted February 8 2007
I’m still loving the MacBook and have set about having fun with Proxi, as you can see from the previous entry, but I have come across something slightly annoying. - The flying Ninja against a red Sun 5

Whilst considering my data integrity strategy I realised I needed a way of storing all my bits of data that can’t be easily saved — stuff like passwords for websites, email receipts, credit card numbers etc. - This is going to take a while … 5

I’ve finally started encoding my DVDs onto my iMac so I can watch stuff in bed with the power of Front Row and AirClick and what better place to start than with my favourite films of the moment: The Lord of the Rings trilogy. - Flying Windows 5
Posted August 2 2006
Or I should say “Fenêtres Volantes”, which is a groovy screen saver. Any guesses what it does? - Screen savers 3
Posted May 3 2006
I’ve never really been one for screen savers — when I had a Windows box I just used to set it so the screen would turn off after 5 minutes. That was until I borrowed Tugger’s iMac (one of the originals) and saw Bliss. - DeliciWeb 3

You may have read about my love for Delicious Library in the past and now I’m mildly pleased to say I can share that love. Or, to put it another way, I can export my library for you all to peruse thanks to DeliciWeb. - “Agua” icon set 4
Posted March 30 2006
I’m a sucker for changing the icons on my iMac - I find a set I like, install them and then get bored after about a fortnight and change them to something else. This set by David Lanham, however, has been on my desktop for at least two months. - Stattoo 3

This is another excellent application from Panic. - photo Drop 1
Posted November 4 2005
photo Drop is one of those applications that you look at, use and then begin wondering how you ever managed without it. It’s one hell of a handy little gadget. - Delicious Library 4
Posted October 29 2005
I bought Delicious Library the day it was released … whenever that was - last year I think. I tinkered with it for a bit but then got bored of manually entering all my DVDs, CDs and books. - “Minium” icon set 1
Posted August 15 2005
I’ve gone and changed my iMac’s icons again and this time I’ve used a really nice set named “Minium”. - CoverFlow 5
Posted August 11 2005
I’ve just read about CoverFlow over on The Tao of Mac. - By the Dashboard light 4
Posted July 15 2005
I was thinking about Dashboard the other day and how little I use it - when I first heard about it I imagined having several thousand widgets running in the background, sapping all my iMac’s CPU cycles. - Trying to use a smart folder 2
Posted May 28 2005
I don’t have much that I need to save in order to make my life worth carrying on with should my hard drive die; currently I back up about two and a half gigabytes of data to a DVD-RW once a week. There are more than a few smallish files that could do with being saved daily so I decided to try and copy them to my iDisk with as little of my interaction as possible - I thought using a smart folder would be the key. - The demise of iSync? 3
Posted May 11 2005
I may have missed a memo or post on a Mac forum or news site, but it seems to me that poor old iSync is slowly being phased out. - Use MSN, Yahoo! or ICQ in iChat 3 10
Posted May 7 2005
I’ve got quite a few contacts who I chat to via MSN and a few via iChat who are either using a Mac or are on AIM and I wanted to be able to use just one application to talk to any and all of them. - Mac OS X 10.4 “Tiger” 2
Posted May 7 2005
My copy of Tiger finally arrived; one faultless “Archive and install” later and I’m swimming in it’s goodness. - Waiting for the tiger 9
Posted April 8 2005
I find myself waiting for Apple’s next major OS X update like a child desperately trying to get to sleep so Christmas morning will arrive quicker. - “iDrives” icon set 13
Posted March 23 2005
It’s not often I consider changing my system icons because I really like the standard Aqua style, but these drive icons are quite a nice alternative - different but still similar enough to fit in without me having to change the rest to match. - MenuCalendarClock 4
Posted March 22 2005
I registered this excellent little app after using it for less than a week - it just so happened that it was a busy week for me and the reminders and notes this app provided me with helped me to stay on track. - Bloody adverts! 2
Posted March 18 2005
I don’t minds adverts in a newspaper. I don’t mind adverts between TV programmes. I even don’t mind adverts on a website. I do, however, mind adverts when they appear slap-bang in the middle of work I’m trying to do. - BurnoutMenu 2.0 4
Posted March 8 2005
I am forever thinking of things I need to do before a certain time or date and then completely forgetting to do so. I’ve always needed to create a list of things that need doing to keep myself on track and after reading many of the comments on ‘What’s in your menubar?’ in the hicksdesign journal I found what seems to be the ideal app for me: BurnoutMenu. - Screen shots 8
Posted February 22 2005
I learned something new about taking screen shots of the desktop in OS X the other day.
